Thank you Public Narrative ! I am particularly honored to be recognized with this award named after Dr. Timuel D. Black Jr.--a tremendous educator, historian, activist, and storyteller--a giant in the field, whose shoulders I humbly stand upon and from whom I learned so much❤️


Moved by University of Illinois Chicago celebration of Prof. Beth E. Richie & Prof. Bernadette Sánchez!

Grateful to learn from such a kind &generous mentor&person!
